Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the estimated financial cost in terms of higher insurance
premiums for businesses was in each of the last three years as a result of crime. [130473]
Ms Blears: The Government does not make any estimates of the increase in insurance premia for business as a result of crime. The
Association of British Insurers (ABI) publishes annual information in their "Insurance Statistics Yearbook" on trends in total
premium income but this does not identify the overall impact of crime on insurance premiums.
The Home Office has published estimates of the economic and social costs of crime (Home Office Research Study 217). This study
includes the cost of "insurance administration", that is the resources used in administering and processing premiums and claims,
based on information in the ABI "Yearbook". The study estimates the total cost to society of insurance administration in England and
Wales in 1999-2000 was £200 million for crime against the commercial and public sectors.

Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what representations she has received from businesses about the
effect on their competitiveness of increased insurance premiums. [110330]
Ms Hewitt: I have received a number of representations from businesses, both directly and via business organisations, expressing
concern about recent rises in insurance premiums. Some of these representations indicated that increased costs of insurance were not
necessarily uniform across a particular trade, and that some businesses were therefore placed at a competitive disadvantage. A
number of businesses commenting on the subject of employers' liability insurance, which is compulsory, expressed concern that
`cowboy' firms trading illegally without insurance were unfairly undercutting their prices.
The Government takes these concerns very seriously, and will shortly be publishing its initial review of the employers' liability
insurance system, which considers business concerns over this class of insurance in particular. We will also consider carefully the
report of the Office of Fair Trading's fact-finding study of the liability insurance market, also due to be published shortly.
